The Theme of Marion LAzan's life

Marion seems to have everything in her life go wrong. But it seems that the memories of the good times help her through. The three pebbles seems to remind her of her family, she thinks if she finds four pebbles then her family can not fall apart, it will keep them together forever. The mind of a 8 year old can be pretty interesting.

Some Quotes that really means something to me.

Page 10. "Seek the future" and ended up in, all of places, Hoya"

Page 12 "We talked," Remembered,"about the store, ..."

Page 32 "My loved one's," Walter had written, " . . . "

Seek the future, Remembered, My loved one's. I love these because I think that they are saying that they are thinking about the future, but they will remember the good memories of the past and they will remember lost loved one's.
